Psychoanalysis Inventory - Paperback

Description

*Inventory of Psychoanalysis* is a necessary book. And uncomfortable. In these pages, Giovanni Sias conducts a radical critique of contemporary psychoanalysis, unhesitatingly denouncing its drift: the reduction to a therapeutic technique, medicalization, adaptation to the "Social Good," and the loss of its ethical and tragic status. Against all forms of psychological orthopedics, Sias brings psychoanalysis back to its original core: not the cure of pathologies, but the experience of language; not symbolic interpretation, but listening to literality; not the application of knowledge, but the risk of writing. In a time dominated by the need for normalization, *Inventory of Psychoanalysis* reopens the fundamental question: what does it mean to be a psychoanalyst? The answer is not a doctrine, but a gesture: returning to Sigmund Freud not to repeat him, but to reinvent his invention. A book of rupture and foundation, this text—unavailable for years—retains its strength intact. And today more than ever, it questions anyone who does not want to reduce psychoanalysis to just another practice, but continues to recognize it as an irreducible experience of thought, language, and truth.
